Summary
Archer and his colleagues at ISIS voyage to the final frontier in an effort to prevent a catastrophe on the International Space Station.
Our Take
The move to space mostly works because the show doesn’t lean on sci-fi jokes as hard as you’d expect, it just drops its usual jerks into zero gravity and lets them be terrible in a new setting. The two-parter structure gives the pacing room to breathe, though some mid-episode plotting stalls. Funny throughout, and the ending sets up part two nicely. Worth your time.
